Halloween has always been a two part holiday…well, at least for the last few decades. It used to be pretty much strictly for the kids…you went trick or treating on October 31st. Older kids/students/young adults might go to a costume party. Adults might go to a fancy dress party at the “club”.
Now, of course, it’s a big deal with any nightlife venue vying for Halloween bucks. But, since October 31st can fall on any day of the week, the tradition has become, “crazy parties at public venues on the Saturday before Halloween” and “more subdued events on the night itself”….unless it falls on a Saturday.
This year, Halloween is a Thursday which has bar owners excited about the prospect of a Three Day Holiday Weekend for increased revenue…which is probably why there seems to be more October 31 events this year as opposed to years where October 31 is on the dreaded Monday or Tuesday.
I’ll cover October 31 events in another post but go check out the Calendar to find them all, over HERE!
THIS post is about stuff happening this upcoming Saturday, October 26th and specifically for events with some ties to Halloween/General Spookiness. If I left anything out, let me know at info@seattlegayscene.com !
